New Kid In Town is a multi-instrumentalist from Italy who now lives in London new single, "Take Your Time" is a relaxing end to a busy week. The musician, who plays guitar, sings, and writes songs, is known for making and recording his own music. He wrote a slow ballad that mixes classic rock with his own laid-back, soulful style.
The first notes feature Telecaster riffs inspired by country music, evoking a calm atmosphere. They make a background that is both old and new. The arrangement has a subtle ebb and flow that allows each instrument to resonate, much like the music of Neil Young, Tom Petty, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Cat Stevens. The voice of New Kid In Town fits the music perfectly. It's soft yet firm, and in under four minutes, it takes the listener on a journey that prompts thought, almost like a movie.
"Take Your Time" is a polished, fully realized statement of artistic intent, even though his other albums feature a diverse range of sounds and styles. The song is based on a calm, thoughtful, and welcoming mood. It makes a lasting impression without being too strong.
The single serves as a preview of his upcoming full-length album, "Morning Light". This song suggests that New Kid In Town is going to release a collection of songs that blend classic rock sounds with the personal touch that modern singer-songwriters are known for.
